There will be no Masses in the cluster parishes until Jan. 23. This will allow Fr. Papi time to fully recover from COVID. There will be communion services at regularly scheduled Mass times in each of the cluster parishes until Jan. 23rd. Please be safe: wash hands, wear a face covering, and keep your distance.

Good afternoon Fathers, Deacons, Parish Director, Sisters, Lay Leaders, Business Administrators, Principals, Diocesan Staff and others;
Sadly once again, it has come to my attention that there is an increase in fraudulent solicitations. Especially during this Christmas time, our people are much more vulnerable to them.
Therefore I ask that you post this attached notice on your websites, facebook pages, and any other social media platforms. I also ask that you include this as a full page insert in your printed parish bulletin as well as your website bulletin.
Also, please be sure to draw the 2nd paragraph to the attention to all employees and anyone else you think you need to.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
From the Office of Bishop James Powers.
Again – thank you. Merry Christmas!
